Eugénie Cliche

Eugénie Cliche works and lives in Montréal. Over the past decade, she has created a no-holds-barred video world in which the fields of performance art, photography and video production are brought together. Cliche’s video works combine playfulness, mockery, irony, and pathos, with a just a hint of violence. Cliche’s exuberant productions resemble commercials, video clips, video games, or children’s television programs laced with double entendre. Other times, they take the form of dramatic pastiches or parodic nods to reality TV. The artist’s work has also been exhibited in festivals and other venues across Quebec and Canada, as well as in Europe, Northern Africa, Asia, Oceania, and Central America. Cliche is also a co-founder and active member of Les Fermières Obsédées (www.fermieresobsedees.com).
